Sometimes people throw out a gem, sometimes their garbage. Up to you to decide but I wouldn't bother if it was me.I'm a garbage man by trade and mainly a guitarist. I've always wanted a bass for the home studio but never bought one. Someone had this Mexican Jaguar bass out for collection and I couldn't help but take it home to see what was good with it. It's look like it's been outside for some time with the rust and what not. Surprisingly plays well and the electronics while not great do still work. I'd love to make a project out of this but I'm wondering if it would be worth it over just buying a good used one.
Couple key things I tried to picture are the skunk stripe is starting to separate from the neck a bit and the body is badly cracked in two places. But shockingly it still feels pretty nice and I haven't even put strings that aren't rusted to high hell yet.
Thoughts and opinions on building this up?
